Heroic Pen

I wish that I was platinum blonde
That I was pretty like the sky at dawn
I wish my skin was smooth and clear
But instead, I’m full of fear

I hear them whisper through the halls
But I lock myself inside the walls
Of the last place where I feel safe
Where I can determine my own fate

My pen is like a brutal sword
It could fight a million wars
Yet it saved people like me
From all of life’s absurdity

So I’ll write my stories
As my hair ruffles in the breeze
And I’ll escape to worlds
Where I control the words
Of all the people~
